No link yet to Lauren Spierer, Indiana cop says of remains

A southern Indiana coroner says skeletal remains found last week at a remote site in Brown County are those of a person who could have been dead for two years or more. The discovery comes 22 months after the disappearance of Lauren Spierer, a 20-year-old Indiana University student from Greenburgh.

Brown County Chief Deputy Earl Piper said Wednesday that there was no indication of a link to Spierer, but "I can't rule anything out," he said.

"I don't have anything at this point pertaining to her that is being looked at," he said, adding that he didn't know the age, gender or race of the remains, which are being examined by the anthropology department at the University of Indianapolis.
